Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

The divorce between Shen Guxing and Princess Ji'an became the hottest topic in Chang'an City.

When the two got married, it caused a sensation in Chang'an and made others envious. It was unknown how many girls had their dreams shattered on the spot.

But in less than a year, the once loving couple turned into a pair of enemies.

There are various speculations about this divorce. Some say that the wife of Ji'an County Master had a miscarriage, which damaged her family's foundation and made it impossible for her to have children. Others say that the two loved each other so much that they would still be together after they calmed down.

However, mainstream comments still believe that Shen Guxing has fallen in love with someone else.

The most outrageous rumor was that Shen Guxing and Jiang Feng were having an affair, and were caught by Prince Xue Li Longye, who stabbed the adulterer with a sword.

Two or three months had passed from the Mid-Autumn Royal Banquet to the beginning of midwinter. The fact that Prince Xue had never set foot in the Jiang family's gate was the best proof of this.

Everyone was speculating that Shen Guxing would return to renew his relationship with Jiang Feng, but unexpectedly, Shen Guxing went to Hexi alone to take up the post.

This time, Jiang Feng fell into the same situation as Cou before.

The wind direction in Chang'an City changed again, and people once again confirmed the fact: Jiang Feng was abandoned again.

However, the four people at the center of public opinion were unusually calm.

First of all, there is the Princess of Ji'an, who stands on the moral high ground. After she divorced Shen Guxing, she was completely desperate and became a nun, practicing Buddhism with her hair uncut and entering a temple.

Many noble women in the Tang Dynasty became nuns.

Princess Taiping once practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut. Later, Princess Yuzhen, a younger sister of Li Longji, also became a nun.

The second was Shen Guxing. After he divorced the county lady, he kept writing letters to request to be sent out.

Emperor Ruizong originally disapproved, but unable to bear Shen Guxing's repeated memorials, he had to fulfill his wish and appointed him as the judge of the Hexi Jiedushi.

After Shen Guxing got permission, he stayed indoors and refused to see visitors. He only met Jiang Zuo once before leaving.

The two of them were drunk, and Shen Guxing was even more drunk.

On the seventh day of the eleventh month, Shen Guxing set out for Hexi. It was already midwinter, and he stayed outside the pass for a long time, seemingly waiting for someone to come.

But the crowd dispersed and in the end, that person never showed up.

At that time, the only person who saw him off was Jiang Zuo.

As a bystander and witness of the love story between Shen Guxing and Jiang Feng, Jiang Zuo felt both sad and helpless.

It was also the first time that he realized how cold-hearted his gentle, considerate and caring little sister was.

During the days when Shen Guxing closed the door and refused visitors, he was waiting anxiously for someone to come back.

But she was able to harden her heart and ignored Shen Guxing, neither meeting him nor seeing him off, as if Shen Guxing's infatuation had nothing to do with her.

It's pitiful and lamentable.

And the next one is Jiang Feng. As the most popular female figure in Chang'an, Jiang Feng seems to have entered hibernation.

The only thing I do every day is sleep.

At first, the Jiang family didn't take it seriously. Gradually, Jiang Feng's condition became worse and worse. Later, he could sleep for eight or nine hours a day.

The remaining four hours were also listless.

Sometimes when the family was chatting, she would be still talking one moment, and a moment later, she would fall asleep with her chin in her hands.

Once, Zhang Yueyue's mother came to the house and leisurely dressed Jiang Feng up to meet the guest.

Just as You Ran went to open the curtain, when she turned back, Jiang Feng had fallen asleep on the dressing table.

Jiang's mother was anxious and rushed to find a doctor. She saw several doctors in a row, but none of them could figure out what the symptoms were.

He took several doses of various medicines, but none of them worked. Jiang Feng, who used to have difficulty taking medicines, now takes medicines as easily as drinking water, without any pressure.

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Feng and felt that he seemed to have lost his soul, like a puppet.

The last victim is Prince Xue Li Longye. This gentleman is a love-struck prince who is cuckolded by a fickle and seductive woman.

Among the ruling class, anyone who has noble blood, is handsome, and has scandals and anecdotes circulating among the people will most likely be glorified by ordinary people.

Just like all wise rulers have dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, all fairies who come down to earth are infatuated, and princesses who marry into the royal family must be talented and versatile...

The prince who was hurt must be a seed of infatuation.

I don't know how public opinion was swayed, but in any case, Li Longye's reputation turned around, and his image among the people changed from a romantic and amorous man to a affectionate man.

But he didn't care at all, as if he was just a spectator.

He no longer cared about love affairs and worked diligently every day. He was repeatedly commended by the emperor and the crown prince. Before the beginning of winter, the emperor lavishly rewarded him, and Prince Xue Li Longye was among them, with a fiefdom of 5,000 households.

The outside world was eagerly waiting for this drama to reach its climax, but with the Princess of Ji'an becoming a nun, Shen Guxing being sent away, no news about Jiang Feng coming out, and Li Longye concentrating on his career, the drama came to an end before it even began.

The crowd had all gotten ready, but found out there was nothing to eat. They couldn't help but feel bored, and gradually they became bored.

In fact, the day after Shen Guxing took office, Li Longye visited Jiang Mansion again.

He suddenly appeared in the Jiang family courtyard like a god descending from heaven, followed by Li Bian, Li Zan and Feng Changqing.

All members of the Jiang family came out to greet them, including Zhang Yuyue who was pregnant, but Jiang Feng was not there.

Li Longye frowned slightly and asked, "Where's Afeng?"

Before Jiang's mother could answer, Old Lady Jiang said, "My little girl has sleeping sickness and has fallen asleep again. I've consulted several doctors, but none of them could find the cause. They just said she was worried too much. Now that the prince is here, the little girl will no longer have any worries and will surely get better."

Whether it should be said or not, sometimes a family needs a person like Old Lady Jiang, who has no taboos and dares to say anything to achieve her goals.

The Jiang family's top priority now is for Jiang Feng to marry into Prince Xue's mansion.

Ever since the incident, Prince Xue not only stopped visiting, but also ignored all other matters, as if he really wanted to abandon Jiang Feng.

Although the Jiang family already has a prince's concubine, it would not be too much to have a prince's concubine.

Besides, it would be fine if there was nothing wrong between the two of them before, but Li Longye had already obtained the emperor's approval to take Jiang Feng as his concubine and settle her in Luoyang. If any complications or unexpected events arose, the Jiang family simply couldn't imagine what Jiang Feng would do in the future.

Now even Jiang's mother hopes that Jiang Feng's love tribulation will stop here, and that she and Li Longye can be together smoothly and happily.

But when Li Longye really came, only Old Lady Jiang dared to explain the situation and express her feelings so bluntly.

Others, no matter how pedantic or aloof, are not suitable to say these words.

Li Longye thought for a while before he said respectfully, "I want to see her, I wonder..."

"I see! I see!" Without waiting for Li Longye to finish his words, Old Lady Jiang agreed immediately.

After saying that, regardless of everyone's expressions, she directly led Li Longye and said, "I, the old woman, will take the prince there. You go see the girl. Her illness will be cured!"

Li Longye actually thought that Old Lady Jiang was extremely cute. He gave a slight signal to everyone and followed Old Lady Jiang straight to Jiang Feng.
